K-3Brand New Readers series.
Illustrated by
Brian Floca.
In this series designed for beginning readers, the books all have four stories, each one preceded by a few lines of plot summary. The stories consist of eight short, repetitive sentences with a humorous twist at the end, which supplies added motivation to keep reading. Simple clear illustrations enhance the humor. A page of tips for adults completes the package. [Review covers these Brand New Readers titles: Edna Elephant, Ethan Out and About, and Mouse Has Fun.]
